For the Lakota Indians, stories were passed down through the generations as a way of teaching lessons. Their creation story places an emphasis on maintaining a balance between man and nature. This balance was broken for the Indians when, after violating the Dawes Act, a treaty that gave them full rights to their sacred land, white men pushed them out of their homeland and forced them into a society that they never wanted to be a part of. In doing this, their culture was greatly diminished, along with their hope of a better future.

Friendship is one of the most valuable components in life. Friendship has the ability to change lives in a positive way. Friendship changes people’s views on life to a more positive outlook. “True friendship is when someone knows you better than yourself and takes a position in your best interests in a crisis. Friendship goes beyond sharing time together, and it is long lasting.” (Friends.com). As we spend a lot of time with our friends, friendship opens our minds to different ways of viewing the world. Unfortunately, sometimes strong barriers may be placed by those who see two people’s friendship as a threat; since people are influenced by their friends, friendship could make people question what

The relationship between religion and violence is extremely complicated and misunderstood, but by analyzing the books, Lakota Woman written by Mary Crow Dog and Holy Terrors written by Bruce Lincoln, the relationship becomes more defined within each texts’ particular religious world. Lakota Woman and Holy Terrors both offer detailed accounts that portray the many ways in which the authoritative roles of religion are used to legitimate violence.

Ever changing, the world promised a comfort of shared misery and remained reliable. Brutal truths are instilled, early and sudden, as lasting lessons always present and impossible to ignore. When bold questions slither into a mind as to why anything is and what may be the reason for the continued existence, people find or create places of unjustifiable magnificence. Paha Sapa, “the heart of everything that is,” is this place for the Sioux. The War of the Black Hills between the Sioux Nation Lakota and the U.S. Americans has lasted for more than a century, and continues in the courts, in the lives of its warriors, and is protested through stone.
